ACSH Hosts Media Symposium on Harm Reduction
June 2003

Speaker: Dr. Elizabeth M. Whelan, ACSH

On June 26th the American Council on Science and Health
assembled a distinguished panel of scientists in New York City to
present a one day educational symposium for the media on the
concept of harm reduction. Harm reduction aims to decrease the
negative health consequences of risky behaviors by modifying
exposures or using less hazardous
alternatives. While harm reduction has been applied across a wide
spectrum of risky behaviors, including sexual practices and intravenous
drug use, the ACSH symposium focused on the strategy applied to two
specific examples: cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse.
